Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Bitter Apple not needed
I was gone yesterday for 16 hours - longest I've been away from little Beatrice since she came to live with us - and when I got back she was absolutely FRANTIC to suck my earlobes. I was equally desperate to have her NOT suck on them, so what I did was.... grab a bottle of cayenne pepper, moisten both earlobes with saliva, then apply a bit of powedered cayenne to each one. Then went back and sat down in the spot where Beatrice likes me to be for sucking purposes, and waited for the inevitable. It took her two tries on each earlobe to give up, and she has not been back. I have the cayenne bottle handy in case she tries it again. > I was gone yesterday for 16 hours - longest I've been away from little > Beatrice since she came to live with us - and when I got back she was [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > It took her two tries on each earlobe to give up, and she has not > been back.

I did happen to touch one of my eyelids before washing my finger, and I can tell you I would not want to have cayenne anywhere near my eyes. >> Pat, I ALMOST suggested that (or Tabasco sauce)!

It's one reason I wear surgical type gloves when handling any sort of peppers or ground pepper when I cook :) At least you seem to have found a solution which is readily available in your kitchen!

Uh, sorry, but I've heard that can be quite painful. I'd like to stress again surgical gloves for the handling of peppers. Jill > >> I coudln't feel it.

Uh, sorry, but I've heard that can be quite painful. I'd like to >stress again surgical gloves for the handling of peppers. I read recently about the owner of a shop that makes specialty hot-pepper sauces. The owner posted a sign on the outside of the men's room door, reminding himself to wash his hands before AND after using the restroom. SignatureJohn F.

Poor baby Beatrice. ;) Jazz & his mama SignatureIrulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time >I was gone yesterday for 16 hours - longest I've been away from little > Beatrice since she came to live with us - and when I got back she was [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > back. > I have the cayenne bottle handy in case she tries it again. |
